John sure is getting good at firing people. Huh, john cries at movies but not at the dislocation to families as a result of firing. Seems a shame not to move the resource to a new position, since at takes quite some time to learn the cisco internal systems and ethos.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d505f76bb3f72d764bbf0fdisenfranchised independentSun, 27 Jul 2014 10:00:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d505f76bb3f72d764bbf0f
Seriously?
you want to "improve my life" by demanding that your employees commutes stupid long commutes to sit in an open workspace with little productivity and a position with little room for career advancement?
Tell me again how that will improve my lifestyle (as I sit on the porch overlooking the beach sipping coffee from my remote office)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d0057b6bb3f744680906e7BeaverCreekWed, 23 Jul 2014 14:56:59 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53d0057b6bb3f744680906e7
Julie: I don't have tremendous truck with this interview of Chambers, but it does remind me why I fundamentally disagree with the vast majority of news reporting and celebrity/politician/businessperson interviews by the MSM. Your interview style should be more that of an antagonist and less chummy, less prone to letting things slide like 'the vast majority of our acquisitions fail'...and letting that comment slide. It's a stunning admission (to be perfectly blunt) since nearly every acquisition that CSCO makes is of companies with revenue and profit, not pure startups; who can screw up acquairing companies that are already running? If they do fail, then shouldn't management be held more accountable? Who is on the Board of CSCO? You could ask how many of those board members does Chamber know personally, how many he personally nominated. You could ask him how much stock has he purchased? Ask him about the cloud and how that has impacted sales/interoperability of his various division telephony products/mobile platforms...really anything to make him uneasy (not going so far as to be a complete a-hole to him, but you get the picture) and not so content as to 'thank you for being so nice'.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53cffe4decad042d5af02680CorporateDroneWed, 23 Jul 2014 14:26:21 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53cffe4decad042d5af02680
Blablabla, nice PR move.

Every conservative victory moves us towards crapsack world.
